It's a FOMO hoarding thing or ADHD thing. People place great value on their passing interests. They see something like "oh that would be good to read/watch" and the tab structure becomes a kind of combined to-do and reminder list. Closing the tab feels like giving up, forgetting, or losing an opportunity. If the tab is still there, there's still an opportunity. Bookmarks don't work because it's out of sight/out of mind.

This isn't an argument for keeping so many tabs. It's an explanation. People will still feel the weight of so many things on their list and they really should just let them go. They'll feel lighter and they won't miss it (except for when they do) 👀

Actually yes you would. For the average person in the privileged position, "trying to do less racism" or "trying to be less misogynistic" is the crux of actioning allyship, especially when people are imprinted and socialized from a young age to be/act racist and misogynistic without knowing or understanding it. Kids can't necessarily control that, but trying to undo it by being less racist and less misogynistic day by day is the necessary work of anti-racism and feminism.

To be fair, that's what the Republicans say too. They just mean something very different by those words.

Neither side interprets the spoken words at face value. The moral difference is very much in the underlying ideology, not in these explicit words.

The spout facing you is easy to cover with a thumb or finger to control the pour flow when you only want to put a few drops.

I think they're referring to actual designers using AI to achieve the result they want based on their own professional expertise, not an amateur who doesn't know what they're doing asking AI to make a design.

20-30 years ago the Illustrator Designer label would be on the left and Traditional Illustrator would be on the right.

The article from Anthropic describes how a small agentic model~15-50gb can be distributed on an inference server hosted across a network of 10-20 IoT devices like smart-TVs, which can have up to 4gb RAM--higher end IoT appliances can also have 1-4GB RAM to hold a meaningful shard of a 30B model.

We have laws making it illegal to discriminate according to gender. If there are zero legal gender categories, there is no legal basis by which one can say discrimination has occured, so nobody can technically commit such a crime.

Lol and what was that comment a response to?

Lol what? This conversation is about the capacity of agentic AI systems replicating across cloud infrastructure, not the affordability of laptops for individual consumers.

The point was you don't need an entire server farm. You can rent an 80gb H100 on Lambda for $2/hr. A 125gb Spark laptop costs $5k.

If it comes down to an effective worm-like agentic distillation at 50gb, the cost to sustain a small swarm comes way down to the point that the swam could sustain its own activities through different revenue streams.

Once the capability is there at that size, it's no longer Russia, Iran, or North Korea who could easily drop a billion dollars to jumpstart it. It's any criminal organization or asshole rich guy who can jumpstart it for the price of a nice car.
